ILstfltatejm. NEW SCHOOL DELEGATES IN THE OLD SCHOOL ASSEMBLY* [From the Presbyterian.] The Assembly then proceeded to hear Rev. Dr. Fisher and ruling elder William Getty, from the Philadelphia Presbyterian Union Conven tion. Dr. Fisher read the call for the Convention, and remarked that, in accordance with it, over two hundred ministers and elders assembled in Philadelphia. They came together! to consider the whole subject,of union. They were not au thorised to act -legislatively; they were only to consult and advise. They knew not what way the Master woald lead them. But <jhe Spirit of the Lord was manifestly present. As the mem bers of the Convention looked into ieach other's i'aces, and took eaeh btlieHl hands, they felt the necessity for a closer union between them, and while some were engagedJ.nTraming thie basis of such a gaged in prayer to God for His -guidance land, blessing- - Dri,Fisher, remarked th'al it, wap his privilege td-Weseiit 4o 'the ' Assembly ';s£H3mu agreed upod an’d', having tqad it, ’ lib coiitioued substantially } sis ! follows‘ It is e significant fact that the call fer thii Convention originated with the Reformed 1-Pres byterian Church, and with Geo. H. Stuart, a mem bet of that Ohureh. He [Sfti S.] had looked ovfer the differentdivisions of the Presbytefiaii Church, ■ and desired a (.union of them alf(“ Tfae'fesultTwas; this ConvCntiOfiD' Its' platform-Is broaden *|psr haps, than the one presented ;by the'J&ncCbta-'; mittee on the Re-union of the .Old and New Schools, yet it is one on which we may safely stand. Of -wasßnreT—uniqn should 1 be accomplished when we are substantially' agreed : Ist, iu subscribing to the Oonfessiom otj Faith /as {containing the ayatemof doctrinetaughfc in the Holy Scriptures; and’ 2dly,in ourUhurch polity. ( . , ~ In regard'to’hiS tJwn branch of the Church, he would say that While- they had' been, perhaps, as a body, somewhat heteroge neous at first, they have now become compact and homogeneous. They d6J in good faith, subscribe to the Confession of Faith as containing the sys tem of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures. But they agree, also, that it is a human composi tion. They do -not receive every word and every proposition it contains. That was not the doc trine that used to prevail at Princeton. Dr. Mil ler used to teach that it was not necessary to adopt every proposition contained in the Book. Reading the words. of -Paul to the sailors, when; shipwrecked, one may believe in both natural and moral ability as they are ■ there illustrated. The New School claim no greater latitude now than was claimed and enjoyed in the-time of Dr. Miller. They take the two correlated proposi tions of the Confession of Faith on the subjects of natural and moral ability, and leave them just where the Confession of Faith and the Scrip tures leave them. And so with regard to the atonement. Upon this subject there are two par ties With them and with us, though the majori ties in the two bodies, are, perhaps, very differ ent. Yet their wish is to throw philosophy aside, and to teach just what the Scriptures teach. The subject of original sin will .probably cause much discussion between us. As regards this, they claim and believe that man is entirely cor rupt—-corrupt throughand through. But many of their pastors hold that this corruption is not in itself sinful. ! He believes; thtfiC-if a Church holds to the eOrruptidiFqf man wholly, it has all that is necessary to enable it to preach the gos pel j and that a 'deeent latitudc of interpretation on this question, and many others, does- not touch the vitality of the system as laid down in the Confession of Faith. They believe thntif-a man is a little erratic, they may tolerate him, though they may not IfeHeve what he says. They be lieve in toleration. Dr. Fisher proceeded to state that many of the Congregational churches formerly connected with ■the New School body on the “Elan of Union” had become Presbyterian. 'But few remained, and the policy of receiving more Kad’ been .prac tically abandoned. He knew of bo ‘difference, in point of polity, between the two bodies. The New School had felt the absolute‘ .necessity of making itself thoroughly Presbyterian, and had acted upon this principle. It had, he said, dis solved its connection with voluntary societies, and instituted its oWh (Jburch organizations for carry ing forward its phuroh-.Work/ The <sn,ly, : volun tary organization' with Much ' it was connected was the American Board, and a connection with it was found necessary'from eiisfcirig circunv stances. It supported its missionaries through this Board. Our preaching is alike. Their ministers are not compelled to write new sermons when they pass from their body to burs. We may think their improvement the result of the sovereign grace of God helping them in their condition of need,; and perhaps it was. They think that;, whatever may be the cause,, they-have-done* well And he believes that Divine Providence now calls us together. If we remain apart, it tnu4, in his opinion, be the result of prejudice alone, If so, is'that such a cause as the Master will ap prove ? When Episcopalians and others lay aside their ; .prejudices, ought not we'so do the same, tolesktin"diff6r«nces of opinion where we cannot agree 'lf tinion occurs, *it nittst be the result of truth and and when’these shall -purify our yisibtt,cwb;#hall?he found together.

Let me say that we are-homo geneous in doctrine, in polity, and in'our mode of conducting our afrairs. I. We are homogeneous in doitrine. Ido not mean to say that there are no differences among us .on minor points, for I presume there are. But I do.mdan to say that we- all stand fairly and squarely on the Confession of Faith. I know of no.single mao among ua-who receives|iti“y»rsu6- - stance of doctrine.” ' ‘ 11. We are homogeneous in polity. It is true we were nojt so f a few years ago. But during the thirtyy.ears’that have elapsed since the separation, our mixed churches have becotne purely Congre gregational or Presbyterian. There are hot now three-score churches in our body that .are, not strictly Presbyterian in ,their organization, These churches are not now represented in our Assem bly, and are rarely represented in our lower courts. And these few churches are rapidly changing their, character. In a? few years they will entfrely disappear, and leave us perfectly.ho mogenequs in polity. ' ' ■ ’ 111. We are also homogeneous in oiir biode of conducting the operations of our Church. We came near dying of Voluntaryism, but are pow, free from it. ’We have our own Boards,-and I doubt if we can say of our churches what you have just said of yours—that there are 1600 not contributing to any one of our Boards. _As a Church we have always jbeen .found the friend of the oppressed'. We 'were the enemies of slavery when it Was not just as popular to be so as it is now. All through the war our deliv erances have not been uncertain, and they have been adopted not by a majority, but without a single negative vote. We are particularly proud of the geographical location of our denomination. The eyes of all are,now-turned to the greallWest,And iinladew years the centre of population will be there. East of a line drawn north and south, so as to strike the St. Lawrence in the latitude of Wash ington, one hundred and fifty miles, west of this city, will be found nearly one-half the churches represented in tbip Assembly. If you will take Ohio as your southern border, we are stronger than yon. We .equal -you in all .the Western States, and we outnumber you in Wisconsin, IF linois; lowa, and Minnesota. Let me also notice the spirit of evangelism which .prevails in our denomination. We have more than 50 in the-foreign field, and though our Home Missionary work was distinct ly organized only seven years ago, our Home Missionaries have increased from 193 to 500. O.ur number of communicants has also increased from less than 20,000 at the time of the separa tion, to more than 200,000. [This statement of the number of communi cants seems to be an error; the New-school membership reported in 1839 last year the number according to-their Minutes; was 161,539. — Eds. Presbyterian.] Under ordinary circumstances I should con sume no more of your valuable time. You may, however, expect me to say something on the great question which now occupies so much of the attention of our two bodies. I hesitate to do SO because I do not entirely understand that ques tion myself, and because I- know, not just how far it may he proper for me to speak of matters which you have under consideration. But pre suming upon the precedents before me I shali say a few words upon the subject, remembering that I must utter npisingle word which I do not believe to be the sentiment, of the Church whose representative I am.- The point in question between us, if I under stand it, is just this. We are afraid .you will curtail our liberty, while .you are afraid we shall taint your orthodoxy. We look upon you as the narrow Church, -while ybu look upon us as the broad Church. Under such circumstances, and sj Jpng ps we thus distrust each other, I believe it is not wise to consummate this Union. Con fidence, ineach other should-precede union. But cannotsome efficient means be taken to remove this feeling of distrust, and bring about mutual confidence? This is the work I wish to accom plish. I have noticed that/differences disappear when those who are supposed to differ come to gether aud examiue. lt was so at the Philadel phia Convention. It has been so in other Union CouVentious. Now, does any ore beiibve That in our body there has been any increase of ob jections!)'e views since the separation—that we are, worse now than we were then ? We heard yesterday of “ Bemm on the Atone ment.” Why, that work was out of print, I be lieve, long ago. We were told of “ Gilbert’s Dia gram.” Why, sir,that died before I was born. There -has been no increase of objectionable views among us. On the- contrary, there has been a constant decrease. The brother who ad dressed you yesterday spoke'-Of -my friend; Dr. Heacock, of Buffalo. I think .it was the editor of the New York Observer, who once classified man kind aS(,'“lSaints,siHnerBvand'theß’eecher>fauii'ly.'’ Now; foy ’genial. «tnd erratic brother who was alluded to, belongs to our “ Beecher family.” He stands almost alone, and thieatens, I am told,.to -gorovet fcpthe Congregationalists-if this uuibU-be accomplished. Those who know him, know that the very spirit of mirth seems to pervade eyeiy portion of his huge body, and I . cannot but be- THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1868. represent my Church before this venerable body is not able to be present and discharge that duty. Summoned unexpectedly by the telegraph to this work; I have had no time to prepare tor it. Yet no one could bring to it a truer or more loving heart than I do. While consulting with your Committee of Arrangements here, and while meeting some of you in the families of my own congregation, I have seemed to forget to what Presbyterian body I belonged. And as I have witnessed your proceedings, and seen their exact correspondence to those of my own Assem bly, my intercommunication made me imagine that I was there. It has been the fashion of others to present to you, on such occasions, a- formidable array of, statistics. I propose to do no such thing, be cause I conceive it to be both unnecessary and improper. If two brothers live opposite each other, the brother over the Way , does not, every time he meets the other, tell him the number and ages of his children, and give him the minute details of his family affairs. We are your younger brothers “over the way,” and I notice that if any >of our fine children strdy o’ver to the elder brother’s house, you do not. send them away. And, so it is when your .children come to us. lieve that when he encountered this good brother, he thought it a good opportunity for a joke. But to return. There has been, lam sure, a decrease of objectionable views among us during the last thirty years. If, then, there has been no in crease of those views, let me ask if, iu ’37, doc trinal questions alone were sufficient to read the Church ? I do not say they are not important ; but were they of sufficient importance to divide us ? Would they have doue so had we been homogeneous in polity ? I think not. » In the paper presented by Dr. A. Alexander, he tells us only of difference in polity. It is true that Dr. Breekenridge subsequently dis covered many doctrinal differences, hut would these alone have divided the Presbyterian Church? What are these alleged doctriual differences ? Are they important? Do they really impair the integrity of any one doctrine of the Confession of Faith, or are they differences of interpreta tion merely, which are entirely consistent with a sincere and cordial adoption of that Confession ? That there were and are differences of interpre tation;,; Igm well aware. , But it is ajnan's. legal right to put his own; interpretation upon his own words, and,- upon this principle, there was no essen tiaLdifference in doctrine. May not' a; man sincerely accept the Confession of Faith, and at the same time have his own interpretation of. the doctrines of mediate and immediate imputation, natural and moral ability, and original sin ? Is thisidiffferertce of interpretation 'peculiar to; the Presbyterian Church 7 I repeat that we:stand> squarely on the Confession of Faith', and that our differences are those of ihterpreiatidft alone,' and not of doctrine. : ‘ ’ VT'-T- .This matter of re-un.iqn was not sought, by us. You took the initiative, Did you thqn, .bqlieye us unsound ?If so, ■;why did you appoint.your Committee >of Conference? Or-have become unsound since the Committee was appointed ?' We do not need this union. For it is as un necessary as it was unsought. We are ready to stand alone if you say so. If you tell us to go, on alone, .we will do so, and will follow you; and .plant our churches from the Hudson to the 1 Rocky mouniains—aye, to “ where .rolls the Ore-; gon and hears no sound save . the inqise. lpif jts' own dashings;”, While we do not «ee/7. this union we desire it. We desire it : because God seems to be calling upon His churches to unite, and because we believe division-has dbeetf the weakness and the bane of Presbyterianism.
